The 4 Old School Chat Applications that Started it All

Let’s go retro. Do you remember the old chat applications that we used to love and use all the time? Of course, we should. It is because those old apps were the ones that started the trend to make chatting even easier to use. Check the old school chat applications that we used to patronize.

ICQ

It is also called as 1997’s Ok Cupid. Even before all dating sites and chat apps are born, it was ICQ that dominated the list. It was an app where you can search for people based on location, age or gender. You’ll be surprised to know that it has been widely used to find friends and dates.

Netmeeting

Back in the days, getting webcams and all those video apps are hard to do, but that was until Netmeeting was released. It was used widely across the globe. You can chat and video chat with people. It’s just that some of them were just trying to show off their naked bodies.

MSN Messenger

We all know that Microsoft is a big name in the tech industry. When they released the MSN Messenger, it took a toll on the ICQ competition. It was the time when instant messages started to take over the world.

AOL Instant Messenger

It is the old school chat application that is still up and running up to this date. The interface may no longer be like before due to some updates, but it is an IM that is still alive even though there are already a lot of instant chat apps.

We can’t deny the fact that even before we are already hooked to different chat applications. The only difference is that these days it is more convenient to use because the various tools are already available straight on our phones. We can make use of it even if we are on the go.
